Call to
Worship
(based on Hebrews
4:12-16)
Sisters
and brothers, we gather this day to hear and learn
from
God’s Living Word!
For God’s Word is alive
and active,
sharper than any
two-edged sword.
It
cuts through our spirits and souls,
through
our joints and marrow,
until
it discovers the desires and intentions of our hearts.
Before God, none can
hide.
All are naked and
exposed to the eyes of the One
who requires us to tell
the truth of our lives.
Yet
we have a great High Priest who has soared to the heights of heaven,
and
he is Jesus, the Son of God!
Let
us therefore hold fast to our faith in him.
For he understands our
weaknesses.
He faced all our
temptations, yet without giving in to sin.
Let
us go boldly to his throne of grace.
There
we will receive mercy and grace to match our every need.
In the shelter of
Christ’s mercy and grace,
let us dare to hear and
explore
the truth of God’s
Living Word for our lives.
Let us worship
God!
